The short story of The Long Version

Three mates. One milestone birthday. 

Tunes with a twang. Musical chemistry.

The Long Version were born.


Tricia Davies Nearn on bass and vocals

Jon Heal on guitars and vocals

David Krupski on drums

Additional keys by Carl Pittman.

Their long combined history in bands aside, this is Tricia's first time up front. Her song-writing reflects her love of the 70s & 80s folk rock she heard on AM radio during her childhood in Seattle. Jon, is a true wordsmith and creative force with an ear for a tuneful riff. David is deft at dad jokes and on drums. They are all quite tall and based in South London.

Meanwhile, in the studio...

We are delighted to announce that we are working on our first record with celebrate songwriter and Americana legend Peter Bruntnell producing. We feel like the luckiest band in London! 


The timeline is not set in stone, but we hope to release our debut album before the end of the year.
